TREE NEWS update: The Securities Association of China is seeking industry feedback on a revised code of conduct for securities firms and their staff, adding new provisions on digital operations. The draft bars firms from using algorithm design, parameter configuration, function settings or unauthorized system access to funnel or seek improper benefits. The rules aim to strengthen integrity risk controls as digitalization deepens in securities business.
China Securities Association Moves to Ban Algorithmic Self-Dealing in Draft Ethics Rules
AI take
The draft targets a subtle but growing risk: algorithmic design itself as a channel for improper benefits, not just traditional conflicts of interest. It signals that Chinese regulators now treat code-level decisions—parameters, settings, access—as conduct subject to ethics rules, which could reshape how firms document and govern trading systems. Whether the final code carries enforcement teeth or remains principles-based is the open question.
